if im not mistaken, most aquatic fishes will happily devour bloodworms and feeder shrimps since they are available in the wild.
you can try to train them to eat pellets.

How about living environment? Need sand or something? I see them keep rushing here and there non stop banging wall and trying to dig into the stones.

im not very expert regarding this,
but from my experience from other fishes and other aquatics pets ive owned, it seems that ure eels is still scared with its new surroundings.
it may take some time for them to accustom to them, but adding a few cover/hidespots like driftwoods, hidey holes(pvc tubes, holey rocks) or try making a cave formation using driftwood or rocks(no sharp edges) might help to calm down. other stuffs also such as adding floating plants and dimming the lighting nearby ure tank area might also help.
substrate is just for aesthetic looks only, but some fishes do enjoy and benefit from them. It just they will require more cleaning and hard to maintain than bare-bottoms tanks.

most eel and cat fish family are scavenger eat almost everything be it live food or dead food. for decoration is not necessary it depends on you whether wan to put sand/stone or whatever as long there is hiding place and big space for them to house.

u keep eel???the normal eel like at sawah or tyre track,fire eel??

Fire eel looks cool.oh hell all of them look cool.maybe one day should have one fish room with plenty tanks like lfs.maybe after retire lol

They eat a little bit of bloodworms. Feeders shrimp like too fast for them, then I get a dead shrimp and peel off the shell and one of them ate it.
